Ten new piantings!! These are for the Spotlight Show at Peninsula Gallery on Saturday Aug 29th, and I’ll be in the gallery from 1 – 3pm for anyone who would like to stop in and say hi!

Seven of the paintings were inspired by my flower garden and the wonderful creatures that inhabit it. The remaining three paintings are colourful renderings of beautiful Vancouver Island.

The Garden Series

Hi folks! My next show is quickly coming up at Peninsula Gallery – Canada opening Saturday, August 29th and I’ll be in the gallery from 1-3pm if you’d like to stop by and say hi! The show runs from Aug 29th to Sept 17th.

This is one of several new paintings I’ve been creating for this show, titled: Wild Roses. This is one of several paintings that take you on a walk through a blooming garden filled with life and sunlight, finding different flowers and garden friends along the way. Combining representation and abstraction, I’ve expanded my ball and block motif into the realm of flora and fauna and it’s been a lot of fun!
